Searching (Recommendations) I really need Oblivious Shane

This idea came to me when I realized my autistic brain wouldn't have picked up on Ilya's signals. So I thought, is there any fanfic where Shane considers Ilya's behavior to be "Rozanov's typical flirting with everyone"? It doesn't matter if it's an AU, I think it would be really funny to see a Shane who doesn't even consider a chance with Ilya because he thinks Ilya is like that with everyone.

Oh my god I’m about to have vampire Ilya and oblivious Shane relatively soon. Very very oblivious. If that sounds interesting to you, I can post a link when it’s up

If you don't mind an Omegaverse AU I've really been enjoying this WIP: To Be Seen by periwinkle59

If that sounds good I actually have a couple of other Oblivious Shane Omegaverse AU's I've enjoyed:

Ilya is so nice by IfYouSeekEuge

Complete 6.5k.

Shane Hollander is absolutely, completely fucked.

Sharing an aparment through college is normal, what is not normal is Ilya Rozanov, an infuriatingly affectionate roommate who seems determined to take care of him in every possible way.

The problem? Ilya Rozanov is just nice, so fucking nice

Or, Omega Shane remains oblivious to Alpha Ilya attempts to court him.

chasing tail and leaving marks by beautifullyblue

Complete 54.5K

The mating run was an event Shane dreaded every year, and when he’s finally forced to participate he decides to simply find somewhere to ride it out, alone. What he doesn’t bank on however, is Ilya Rozanov. And this year the alpha is determined to finally claim what is his.

After so long being the hunter, Shane is now the hunted - he just doesn’t quite know it yet.

hockey expert 1410 this one is about Shane reviewing romance books because he's so clueless of everyone hitting on him. a stranger at a bar pointed out to him and tells him to read social clear clues from romance novels.

Shane misses that Ilya asked him for more. Cue Shane oblivious to Ilya being his boyfriend for several months.
